This works, but still has a number of problems:

  • can't boot kernels bigger than 8MiB
  • initramfs doesn't seem to work either (may also be a size issue)
  • extra patches1 might be necessary for ethernet to work

I figure all of these would be upstream issues, right?

This force push

  • Synced with current development branch
  • Added SPI support

I verified SPI support works, by using it on my board.

Before merging I'd like to verify and fix (from the PR description)

  • can't boot kernels bigger than 8MiB
  • initramfs doesn't seem to work either (may also be a size issue)

If this is an unsolveable limitation of the platform, it should be documented as such.

I don't think it's an unsolveable limitation of the platform, just of the memory layout used by the default config.

Yeah, this was if it is... I'm positive it must be something like that too.
